Dwarf Bread

— Chef's Note —

"It was miraculous, the dwarf bread. No one ever went hungry when they had some dwarf bread to avoid. You only had to look at it for a moment, and instantly you could think of dozens of things you'd rather eat. Your boots, for example. Mountains. Raw sheep. Your own foot." - Witches Abroad

Dwarf bread is not baked. Nay, it is forged. Proper dwarf bread is made with rocks and...not actually supposed to be eaten.

My recipe is similar to what you would buy from a baker in Genua - something that's slightly more palatable for humans. I recommend you use dried blueberries, cranberries, cherries, dates, or plums for the fruit.

Remember, if you're getting hungry, there's dwarf bread. There's always dwarf bread.
